big tires
I would like to know what the biggest tire I can run on stock 15x8 wheels on a stock 90 model F150. Cant afford a lift kit yet but want bigger tires.

A friend of mine runs 37" SSRs on 15x8s on his bronco. He drives about 85 miles a day, no problems.

Sorry, didn't read the no lift thing. You could cut the fenders WAY back

33x12.50 is about as big as your gonna get on there. They may rub slightly but nothing to worry about.

I would wait until you got the lift, unless it's under 6", then just get the 33's

I have 32x11.5 on my 95 F150. They fill the wheel wells perfectly. Even putting it all in a bind they do not rub. When you look at it it loooks like its got about .5" but it fits perfect. Then another buddy just put three " body and is fitting 33 12.5 swampers just fine.

Just sold a '91 F-150 4x4 Lariat s/b

32x11.50 Wild Country for years on factory 15" rims and later on 15x10 rims, no rubbing, looked good.

Never tried 33's, but don't see how they would fit without rubbing


Oh.....and no lift's

33x12.50's fit fine as long as you stay under a 10 inch rim to keep them in the fenderwell...onnly problem you have is rubbing the radius arms slightly

The skyjacker book says that 32x11.5 is the biggest for a stock truck... it also all depends on the truck and the amount of use and abuse it's had
